Psalm 124

New Coverdale Version

If the Lord himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say: * if the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us,

Then would they have swallowed us up alive, * when they were so wrathfully displeased with us;

Then the waters would have drowned us, and the torrent gone over us; * then the raging waters would have gone clean over us.

But praised be the Lord, * who has not given us over to be prey for their teeth.

We escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowler; * the snare is broken, and we have been delivered.

Our help is in the Name of the Lord, * the maker of heaven and earth.
